Modular Plants
Purpose-Built Modular Plants, Designed And Manufactured In Western Australia
Como Engineers is a Perth-based designer, manufacturer and exporter of modular plants, with more than 30 modular gold elution processing plants delivered worldwide.
We design, manufacture, fully assemble and test each modular processing plant before delivery. Backed by a 40-year track record and proven global delivery, our modular plants help operations reach production faster, even in remote locations.
End-To-End Modular Plant Range
Como Engineers offers a range of solutions specific to our clients requirements, from a single piece of equipment to a fully Modular Elution Circuit and Integrated Goldroom.
Modular Elution Circuits
Como Engineers flagship Modular Elution Circuits strip gold from loaded carbon and recover it in an integrated gold room — available as Pressure Zadra, AARL or Split AARL designs. Fully integrated Modular Elution Circuits are inclusive of all steelwork, piping, cabling, instrumentation and controls, built and tested in Perth and delivered globally.
Carbon Regeneration
Como Engineers supplies complete Carbon Regeneration Systems: Dewatering Screen, Feed Hopper, Rotary Kiln (Fuel fired or electric), Quench Vessels and Fresh Carbon Addition systems – supplied as individual equipment or as a fully integrated system inclusive of all steelwork, piping, cabling, instrumentation and controls.
Carbon in Column (CIC) Circuits
Como Engineers designs and manufactures both Gravity and Pressurised CIC circuits. Traditional Gravity CIC circuits incorporate up to six CIC vessels, same as the Pressurised CIC Circuit where carbon remains enclosed within the vessel, eliminating any spillages and allowing pressure transfers from the CIC vessels to the elution plant.
Modular CIP/CIL Plants
Our modular CIP/CIL plants are a compact, pre-engineered design, significantly reducing on-site construction and resulting in a faster path to first production. Como Engineers also manufactures fully modular Carbon in Column (CIC) circuits for heap leach operations worldwide.
Our Projects
Why Choose Como Engineers’ Modular Plants
Every modular plant is manufacured, assembled and tested to operating temperatures and pressures in our Perth workshop before it is disassembled into modules, packed into standard sea containers and transported to site.
Built and pre-commissioned in Perth, not on a remote site
Significantly less on-site construction time, labour and risk
A faster path to first production and cashflow
Ideal for remote locations
Smaller systems install in 2–3 weeks; a 10-tonne plant in around 6 weeks
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation across the extremes of climate from Northern Canada to the Outback Australia.
The result is lower cost, lower risk and a plant proven prior to leaving the workshop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! We can supply any and all individual equipment and components that you require. This includes Acid & Elution Columns, Hoppers, Tanks, Pumps, Heat Exchangers, Filter Presses, Valves, Instruments, Kilns, Baring Furnaces, Crucibles – even the PPE, hammer and stamps for marking gold bars, and all other goldroom tools.
Yes! Plants are assembled and pre-commissioned in our Perth workshop where clients can come and witness the plant in operation before it is then disassembled into modules, and packed into sea containers. On site, they are reassembled and commissioned in weeks rather than months.
We design and build Modular Elution Plants from 1 to 12 tonnes carbon capacity, to a standard design or customised for your specific site.
Yes! Through our dedicated spares team, we supply spare parts and consumables to support your plant, in addition to installation, commissioning, process improvement and after-sales support. Just contact spares@comoeng.com.au to speak to one of our team or visit spares page for more information.
We supply all-inclusive modular Pressure Zadra, AARL and Split AARL elution circuits complete with electrowinning, carbon regeneration and gold room equipment.
